COLONEL EFFINGHAM’S RAID
1946 USA – 72 Minutes
Black & White – Comedy
Directed by Irving Pichel
Starring – Charles Coburn & Joan Bennett

Retired Colonel Effingham (Coburn) returns to his hometown after a career in the service and finds its being run by a city hall full of windbag politicians. When the local political organization decides to tear down the old courthouse in the town square Colonel Effingham leads the charge to save the old historic structure. Coburn plays his part to perfection and is backed up by a zany group of comedic character actors. In addition to being entertaining it makes one think, as the Colonel clearly states, “A community’s history is its family tree.”
